This week I turned my thesis in for one of the final reviews/revisions. I am pretty excited. I have been working on this Doctorate of Ministry for a looooong time.

DEVELOPING SELF-AWARENESS AND HEALTHY RESPONSE TO CONFLICT

IN THE LEADERSHIP AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA

Completed the project this last summer with a wonderful group of leaders from FBC. And finally got the whole thing written up and formatted.
